Aim: The study aims to identify the common causes of performing restoration of teeth in General Dental Practice (GDP). Analyze the common reasons for restoration failure, the material used in the management of restoration repair/replacement in Hail, Saudi Arabia. Objective: This study gave an insight into identifying the reasons for performing dental restorative procedures in general dental practices in Hail, Saudi Arabia. It helped to determine the trends and justification for carrying out therapeutic dental treatments, with a particular emphasis on the treatment modalities, techniques, and materials used for replacement/repair of faulty or failing restorations. Material and method: It was an observational study with a cross-sectional design conducted in Hail, Saudi Arabia. A self-administered face and content validated questionnaire was used as a study tool to analyze the reasons that the general dental practitioners chose to place restorations. This study was done in February 2018. A total of 200 questionnaires were distributed, out of which 191 (response rate: 95.5%) were returned from the clinics of the college of dentistry, private dental clinics and specialist dental center in Hail city, Saudi Arabia. Result: Considering the reason of performing the restorative procedure, replacement of restoration was the most common with a percentage of 95(49.7%) followed by placement of new restoration due to caries represent 78(40.9%) and finally tooth fracture with a total rate of 18 (9.4%). The primary reason for the replacement of restoration reported was restoration fracture 40(42.1%), followed by secondary caries 33(34.7%) and finally aesthetically not acceptable restorations 22(23.2%). Conclusion: The results indicate that, within the parameters of this study, replacement of restoration was the most common reason for the dental procedures. The alarming thing identified by this study was that nearly half of the dental procedures (40.9%) were replacement restoration. Restoration fracture followed by Secondary caries was identified to be the main reason for replacement/ repair of restoration, with practitioners in general practice. Studies of this type give an insight into the prevailing trends and developments in dentistry.

A 20-year-old man presented at our clinic with a primary complaint of irregular dentition and reverse bite. Clinical examination revealed skeletal Class III malocclusion with an anterior crossbite and a completely blocked #25 in the maxilla. Because he refused to receive orthognathic surgery and experienced only mild functional interference, a nonextraction treatment method was adopted. Space creation on the left upper arch was successfully performed using an open coil spring for molar distalization and the improved super-elastic Ti–Ni alloy wire (ISW) Multi-bends Edgewise Arch Wire (MEAW) technique. Furthermore, #25 was aligned completely. The Class III malocclusion was corrected using the ISW MEAW technique combined with Class III elastics on the lower arch. Treatment was completed in approximately 16 months and a satisfactory occlusion was achieved after active treatment.

The aim of this study is to determine the correlation between the DMFT index of 12-year-old children and the concentration of fluorine in drinking water from the populated areas where children live. Material and method: In the examination, 85children were enrolled, out of 2 central and 2regional primary schools, at which the DMFT index was determined. The children live in 2 different cities and 2 different villages. Four water samples were taken from the examined area to determine the fluorine concentration by using the electrochemical method using the pH/ISE Meter-Thermo-Orion with a special F-electrode (Thermo Orion Ion Plus Fluoride Electrode) at the Institute for public health. Spearman's method was used to determine the correlation between the specified variables. Results: The total number of children in the examined sample was 85, out of which45 were male and 40 were female. The average DMFT index in this group of children was 2.75 with a standard deviation of ±2.56. Maximum concentration of fluorine in drinking water of 0.39ppmF was determined in the village Vinicani, while the minimum (0.17ppmF) in the city Veles and (0.20 ppmF) in the village Melnica. Correlation of the DMFT index in children from the Vardar region and the concentration of fluorine in the drinking water has a negative, indirect correlation, with the value of the coefficient r=-0.393. Conclusion: The correlation between the DMFT index and the concentration of drinking water is a negative, indirect and correlation is highly significant
本研究的目的是确定12岁儿童DMFT指数与儿童居住的人口稠密地区饮用水中氟浓度之间的相关性。材料和方法:在2所中央小学和2所地区小学中，共有85名儿童被录取，并确定了DMFT指数。孩子们生活在两个不同的城市和两个不同的村庄。采用公共卫生研究所pH/ISE - thermoorion - meter - ISE -特殊f电极(Thermo Orion离子加氟电极)的电化学方法，从检查区域采集了4个水样，以确定氟浓度。Spearman方法用于确定指定变量之间的相关性。结果:被检儿童总数85人，其中男45人，女40人。本组患儿DMFT指数平均为2.75，标准差为±2.56。Vinicani村饮用水中氟的最高浓度为0.39ppmF, Veles市最低(0.17ppmF)， Melnica村最低(0.20 ppmF)。瓦尔达尔地区儿童DMFT指数与饮用水氟浓度呈负相关，间接相关系数r=-0.393。结论:DMFT指数与饮用水浓度呈负相关、间接相关，相关性极显著

Pre-diabetes is a serious health condition where blood sugar levels are higher than normal, but not high enough yet to be diagnosed as type 2 diabetes. Pre-diabetes puts one at an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes and heart disease. Methodology: A cross-sectional study was carried out on 384 patients aged 20-70 years old, attending the dental clinics to assess the risk for diabetes, using the FINDRISC (Finnish Diabetes Risk Score) questionnaire, HbA1c blood test and a periodontal examination. Results: The mean age of participants was 38.90 ± 10.74. 32.3% were categorized as no risk, 46.6% low risk, while 19% and 2.1% moderate and high risk of developing diabetes respectively. Tests for serum HbA1c Level showed 46.1% had normal HbA1c followed by 18.0% and 3.6% were pre-diabetic and diabetic respectively. 19.3% of participants had periodontal pockets measuring more than 4mm and 15.9% measuring more than 6mm. Conclusion: The study has proven to be useful in identifying patients at high-risk of developing diabetes. Controlling and managing periodontal disease could be a new aspect to include in the standards for diabetes care. Dental settings could be a successful platform to carry out the screening and risk stratification of pre-diabetic patients.

Zimmerman-Laband syndrome was reported by Zimmerman in the year 1928 which is a rare inherited autosomal dominant disease characterized by generalized enlargement of the attached and marginal gingiva, abnormalities of nose, ear, deformities of nails, joint hyperextensibility, hepatosplenomegaly, skeletal abnormalities and occasional mental retardation. Idiopathic gingival enlargement is usually evident after the eruption of the permanent teeth. Both sexes are equally affected. Genetic loci for autosomal dominant modes of gingival fibromatosis is localized to chromosome 2p21p22 (HGF-1) and chromosome 5q12-q22 (HGF-2). This syndrome is not a life threatening disorder. Hereditary gingival enlargement is associated with syndromes like Rutherford syndrome, Zimmerman-Laband syndrome, Murray-Puretic-Drescher syndrome, Cross syndrome and Ramon’s syndrome. The most important feature of this syndrome is gingival enlargement appearing early in childhood. Idiopathic gingival enlargement is usually evident after the eruption of the permanent teeth. Surgical correction of gingival fibromatosis is recommended, although there is no information on the permanence of the results of this treatment. We present a case of a 14 year old female patient with Zimmerman-Laband syndrome. Gingivectomy was carried out in the upper and lower anterior region there by exposing the impacted teeth.
